A receiver (e.g., for a 10G fiber communications link) includes an interleaved ADC coupled to a multi-channel equalizer that can provide different equalization for different ADC channels within the interleaved ADC. That is, the multi-channel equalizer can compensate for channel-dependent impairments. In one approach, the multi-channel equalizer is a feedforward equalizer (FFE) coupled to a Viterbi decorder, for example, a sliding block Viterbi decoder (SBVD); and the FFE and/or the channel estimator for the Viterbi decoder are adapted using the LMS algorithm.

In a nonlinear signal filtering system, a signal having a series of signal samples is filtered. The signal samples are affected by interactions with adjacent signal samples and nonlinear distortions. The system contains a series of alternating linear system elements and nonlinear system elements that are used for mitigation of distortion resulting from the nonlinear distortions with memory effects. The linear system elements can scale each signal sample in the series of signal samples by scaling parameters and sums a plurality of consecutive scaled signal samples, and the nonlinear system elements can transform the output of the linear system elements according to instantaneous nonlinear functions.
